How long have you been with the Mac OS?

[Nar1117]

Im just curious to see how long everyone has been a Mac user. A year? Two? Twenty? OS 9? 8?

Ive been with Mac since OS 9 and still going strong!

Im sure theres some diehards out there though...

 

[Dont Hurt Me]

About 20

 

[Queso]

Since System 7 came out. What was that, 1991?

A whopping year come August 1st. You know you're jealous...

 

[backupdrummer]

I have owned a mac for 4.5 years

 

[dukebound85]

[yankeefan24]

Started in late 1999 with 8.6. Since then, I have owned 3 iMacs, 2 powerbooks, and 2 iBooks/MacBooks. Soon to be added, intel powermac, and 1 more macbook.

I got my first mac in 2001- a brand spankin' new iMac G4. That's when I became a home user. Before that, it was just in the graphics lab at school.

5 years!

Does my Apple ][e count? If not, then System 6 in 1990.

 

[Kernow]

Since 2001 and the G4 iMac, but I can't remember whether this was 10.1 or 10.2.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Had my first taste of Apple... it would be about twelve years ago now, I think. System 7 back in those days.

 

[G99]

Lol - October 2005
But, I saw my first mac when I was really young. One of those first powerbooks.

 

[devilot]

August 2004. OS X, Panther. I'm a newbie.

 

[frankblundt]

1983-ish. What was that Indiana Jones game? Aztec?
and then a big gap until about '94.

 

[CubaTBird]

[Project]

7 or 8 months.

 

[runplaysleeprun]

OS 8.5 on my old iMac g3. And for about 6 years before that at a Mac-only school, but I don't remember what system it was before then. I do, however, remember taking a hypercard class in like second grade.

 

[adamb100]

December 26, 2005. It was the greatest thing I spent my money on.

 

[GimmeSlack12]

Since System 6.0.8, when I was 9 (1989).

So that makes 17 years!

 

[Sheebahawk]

23 years, with no breaks in between

learned the alphabet on an appleIIc

 

[iCaffeine]

I made the jump officially April 19, 2006; haven't touched an Windows machine ever since : )

 

[risc]

I got my first Mac in 2003 I'll be honest and say that before Mac OS X I thought the Mac OS was a complete joke. My experience with Macs before OS X had always been on very slow, and unstable machines. If OS X wasn't a UNIX like OS I doubt I would be using it now.

Had an SE runing System 7 a long time ago, but did dip into a terrible world of DOS and Windows 3.11 for a couple of frustrating years (6!), before returning to wonderful Mac OS 9 in 2000.
